[c-nsp] ip multicast boundary and IGMP?

According to the documentation:

* IP multicast boundaries filter data and control plane traffic
including IGMP, PIM, and AutoRP messages. PIM Register messages are sent
using unicast and will not be filtered.


However, I have multiple multicast boundaries set up on various SVIs and
PIs, and IGMP appears to work just fine - "show ip igmp group vlan X"
reports state, multicast comes and goes, etc etc. 

In addition, I am running EIGRP across a link which has a multicast
boundary configured, which is using multicast of course, and it works
just fine. 

It does however block PIM and AutoRP, which I have to explicitly permit
in order for it to work. 


Is this just a flaw in the documentation? A flaw in the SX train? Am I
missing something?

This is on cat6500/sup720s, 12.2.33SXH4. 

Thanks,
